A compact floor-standing speaker that uses a 10.00 Tannoy Dual Concentric in a cabinet design optimised to produce bass performance with superb control and extension, allied to spacious, fluid mid-range and high frequencies of great purity and detail. The cohesion of the stereo sound staging reproduced by the Stirling SE, a characteristic common to all the Dual Concentric equipped Prestige models, is involving and believable, delivering remarkable spaciousness and presentational stability in equal measure.

All components and cabinets are still hand assembled in the time-honoured fashion to ensure that attention to detail and unique styling go hand in hand in maintaining the exclusive appeal of this highly respected and sought after loudspeaker.

The design comfortably complements any decor from ancient castle through to the cool, casual and contemporary. The only rules we absolutely adhere to when designing and crafting Prestige loudspeakers is to utilise the most up to date, no compromise, acoustic technologies and time-proven cabinet making skills ensuring these are probably the very best sounding loudspeakers you will find anywhere.

Features

Stirling SE

Having re-evaluated the performance of models throughout the Prestige range, Tannoy engineers selected the latest cutting edge components and materials at their disposal to introduce several performance enhancing amendments to the crossover topologies within the “SE” models. To optimise acoustic performance only components of the highest possible standard have been used.

Hard-wired crossovers are used throughout the Stirling SE and the routing of each cable has been painstakingly considered to ensure there is no degradation in sound quality. Similarly, the components have been carefully arranged to avoid any coupling effects. In particular, incredible transparency in the mid band has been achieved providing an enhanced true-to-life vocal clarity. Completely redesigned crossovers, incorporating the most up-to-date high quality components, have taken these models to a new level of acoustic excellence. ICW Clarity Caps have been included for high frequency (HF) section of the crossovers, while high quality metalised film capacitors are used in LF sections. The LF crossover also makes use of very low loss laminated iron core inductors. Internal connections from input terminals to crossover, internal crossover wiring and crossover to Dual Concentric drive unit are made with the exceptional VDH MC CS18 halogen free silver-plated cable.

A 5-point terminal panel (bi-wire and ground point) gold plated terminals has been incorporated on the Stirling SE. With the driver chassis grounded via the 5th terminal, and by using appropriate speaker cable, this proven technology, developed on earlier Prestige models, minimises the effects of RF interference resulting in a more transparent midrange.
